Curriculum
The Master in Business Logistics Engineering program is a 41-credit-hour program. It includes courses in logistics and supply chain management, warehouse design, logistics technology, mathematical programming and computer simulation.
Students will take 12-15 credits per semester to complete the program in 15 months.
As part of our experiential learning format, our students helped design supply chain solutions for companies.

English Language Mastery Requirements
International students are required to complete a written English placement test. Based on an evaluation of a student’s written English, he or she may be required to take:
- Education: Teaching and Learning (EDUTL)
- Intermediate Intensive English as a Second Language
- Advanced Intensive English as a Second Language, and/or
- Academic Writing in English as a Second Language: Graduates. International students are expected to complete course work through EDUTL 108.02 within the first year of study.
This requirement will not be waived, and these courses must be taken in addition to the normal course load. Please note that because the Master in Business Logistics Engineering program is shorter in nature, international students placed into English classes should anticipate graduating according to the 15 month plan.
